Description
Two investigators race across time to escape aliens from the future and their terrible "gift" of immortality in this novel by a Nebula Award–winning author.
What is the price of eternal life? Secret agent Jay Corcoran is about to learn the answer when his investigation into an inexplicable disappearance carries him and journalist friend Tom Boone hundreds of years into the past. Corcoran and Boone's powerful extrasensory abilities lead them to an advanced transportation system through time, and back to the bucolic eighteenth-century English countryside.
There, they discover a family from the distant future hiding from the Immortals—an alien race that, many centuries on, is seducing human subjects with the promise of eternal life. But at the cost of the corporeal self, there is no place in the aliens' future for anyone unwilling to exist as mind alone. Now that the Evans family's sanctuary has been breached, escape is the only answer—for Boone and Corcoran as well—and the only way out is forward . . . far forward.
But racing through space and time can be a hazardous occupation, especially with monstrous beasts, killer robots, and Immortal body-destroyers waiting at every juncture.
The last novel from science fiction legend Clifford D. Simak, Highway of Eternity combines breathtaking action with provocative ideas and unparalleled ingenuity, the hallmarks of Simak's exceptional art.
The third author to be honored as a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), Clifford D. Simak also received three Hugo Awards, a Nebula Award, an International Fantasy Award, and a Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award.

5By kurtThis man was a genius in the area of pastoral science fiction, which is a genre that I don't think exists today. So nice to have Simak's work in digital format now. I can't wait for more tiles to be released!!Simak All
5By I know this oneThe man is a genius of his time. I have been reading him since the fifties,and am an old woman now , and am so glad you are bringing him back for me and others. His mind wandered the universe as I wish mine had been able. He was a wonder! Fran Gillies,50 year fan.
